Other

To prevent biotin deficiency, less than 0.2 mg of biotin per day is sufficient.For lower amounts, medicines with a lower biotin content are available.Deficiency symptoms do not normally occur in humans.However, ingesting very large amounts of raw egg whites can trigger skin inflammation due to a biotin deficiency (deficient matitis), the so-called egg protein damage.

Egg protein contains the glucoprotein avidin, which forms a stable complex with biotin that cannot be broken down in the gastrointestinal tract.In this way, biotin cannot be available to the body and a biotin deficiency occurs.In addition, in multiple carboxylase deficiency, the biotin requirement is increased due to a genetic defect.A pronounced deficiency can be seen in the skin and appendages of the skin and also results in specific psychological complaints and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract.
